Mumlava Waterfall, Natural cascade in Harrachov, Czech Republic.
Mumlava Waterfall is a natural attraction near Harrachov in the Czech Republic, where water plunges over granite rocks and forms multiple cascades. The formation spreads across a considerable width and creates a dynamic water landscape.
The name derives from an old German word meaning the murmuring sound of water rushing over stone. This linguistic origin connects the waterfall to centuries of human settlement and observation in the Harrachov area.
The waterfall serves as a gathering place for hikers and nature enthusiasts in the Krkonoše region. Visitors return throughout the year to experience the power of flowing water and explore the surrounding landscape.
You can reach the waterfall via two marked trails from Harrachov, one of which is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Allow adequate time for the climb and wear proper footwear for wet and uneven surfaces.
The flowing water has carved circular depressions into the granite rocks over time, locally known as giant pots or devil's eyes. These natural rounded formations result from the spiral motion of stones and water that slowly excavate the stone across thousands of years.
